Molex 0314036210 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0314036210 is a 6-position rectangular connector receptacle housing with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This component features Connector Position Assurance (CPA) and sealed construction with crimp termination contacts. The part is classified as Active product status with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector housing specifications, allowing for interchangeability in applications where the core functional requirements remain constant.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0314036210 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

Electrical Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Contact type: Female Socket
• Number of positions: 6
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Contact termination: Crimp

Mechanical Parameters:

• Number of rows: 1
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening type: Latch Holder
• Features: Connector Position Assurance (CPA), Sealed

Environmental Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 125°C
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The identified substitute parts maintain these core parameters while differing in insulation material composition and color designation. Both substitute parts are manufactured by Molex within the MX64 series family and retain full functional compatibility with the original part specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts maintain full compatibility with the Molex 0314036210 based on electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between the main part and substitutes is determined by the following factors:

Product Availability: The substitute part 0314026110 provides 3,161 units in stock, while 0314036110 provides 2,088 units, compared to 786 units of the main part. Higher inventory availability may support production scheduling requirements.

Compliance Certifications: Both substitute parts carry explicit ROHS3 Compliance and REACH Unaffected designations. The main part does not specify these compliance statuses in the provided data.

Series Designation: The substitute part 0314026110 belongs to the MX64 31402 series, while both the main part and substitute 0314036110 belong to the MX64 31403 series. Series alignment may be relevant for design documentation and traceability requirements.

Material Composition: The main part utilizes Polyamide (PA66) with glass filling and Syndiotatic Polystyrene, while both substitutes use Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). Material selection impacts thermal and chemical resistance characteristics within the specified operating temperature range.

Color Designation: The main part is gray, while both substitutes are black. Color selection is determined by application-specific requirements and assembly identification protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the substitute parts 0314026110 and 0314036110 be used interchangeably with the main part 0314036210?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, and operating temperature range. Substitution is valid from a functional compatibility standpoint.

Q: What is the difference between substitute parts 0314026110 and 0314036110?

A: The primary differences are series designation (MX64 31402 versus MX64 31403) and inventory availability (3,161 units versus 2,088 units). Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute 0314036110 maintains the same series designation as the main part.

Q: Does the color difference between the main part (gray) and substitutes (black) affect functionality?

A: No. Color is a visual identification parameter and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Color selection is determined by application requirements and assembly protocols.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The substitute parts carry explicit ROHS3 Compliance and REACH Unaffected certifications. The main part does not specify these compliance statuses in the provided documentation. Applications requiring documented compliance certification should reference the substitute parts.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation material difference?

A: The main part uses Polyamide (PA66) with glass filling and Syndiotatic Polystyrene, while substitutes use Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). Both materials operate within the specified -40°C to 125°C temperature range. Material selection impacts thermal stability and chemical resistance characteristics specific to the application environment.

Q: Do the substitute parts include contacts?

A: The substitute parts 0314026110 and 0314036110 are specified as housings without contacts included. Contact procurement must be addressed separately according to application requirements.

Q: What is Connector Position Assurance (CPA)?

A: CPA is a feature that ensures proper mating alignment and prevents incomplete connector engagement. All three parts (main and substitutes) include this feature.

Q: Are all three parts sealed connectors?

A: Yes. The main part and both substitute parts feature sealed construction, providing environmental protection for the connector interface.
